Money & Currency
Get a travel card →Euro, EUR
Use bank ATMs for the best rates; avoid exchange bureaux at airports and tourist spots — they charge high fees and give poor rates.
Cards are widely accepted in supermarkets, restaurants, and shops; contactless and mobile pay work in most places, but carry some cash for small purchases and markets.
Not expected but appreciated — round up the bill or leave 5-10% in restaurants; taxis and hotel staff don’t expect tips, but a euro or two is fine for help with bags.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →Espresso at a bar — around €1.10-1.30, often cheaper if standing at the counter.
Panino or slice of focaccia from a bakery or deli — around €4-6.
Pizza margherita or a simple pasta dish in a trattoria — main course around €10-14.
Look for bakeries and rosticcerie for takeaway focaccia, farinata, or arancini — no dedicated street food area, just follow locals at lunchtime.
Supermarkets like Conad, Lidl, and Crai are common in Lerici and nearby towns.
No high-street chains in Lerici itself — head to La Spezia (10 min by train) for shops like OVS, H&M, and market stalls on Saturdays.
Buy a regional train day pass for €8-10 to move between Cinque Terre villages; from Pisa airport, a direct train to La Spezia costs about €8-10 (change at Pisa Centrale).
Buy food from supermarkets and bakeries rather than eating out for every meal; take the train instead of driving into Cinque Terre — parking is expensive and scarce; fill up a reusable water bottle at the free public fountains (fontanelle) found around town.

Top Attractions in Lerici
💡 It's only open for a few hours on weekday mornings. Check the notice on the door or ask at the tourist office for mass times. The real appeal is the view from the churchyard.
💡 The most photogenic stretch is just past the castle, where the path opens onto a small pier. Early evening is best for light and fewer people.
💡 Bring water shoes. The free section is to the left of the stabilimento balneare. Best for a quick dip in the morning before the crowds.
💡 The ticket to the castle also gets you into the Palio del Golfo maritime museum. Go late afternoon for quieter crowds and golden light.
💡 The museum is included in the castle ticket so it's essentially free if you're already visiting the castle. The race itself is in August but the museum is quiet year-round.
